Councillor/Elected Member Code of Conduct
This Code of Conduct sets out the standards of behaviour expected of the councillors of the Southern Midlands Council, with respect to all aspects of their role. As leaders in the community, councillors acknowledge the importance of high standards of behaviour in maintaining good governance. Good governance supports each councillor’s primary goal of acting in the best interests of the community.
Councillors therefore agree to conduct themselves in accordance with the standards of behaviour set out in the Code of Conduct for elected members. This Code of Conduct incorporates the Model Code of Conduct made by Order of the Minister for Local Government.
